Romans 8:1 is my favorite verse in the Bible. Brian preached on this passage this morning, and it was a wonderful, uplifiting lesson. It was great to be reminded that because of Christ, we all have a fabulous reason to be happy, and live positive lives. Here is the long and short of it:
It is great to be a Christian because:
1. We can be certain that as Christians we are forgiven! (Romans 8:1-2) It's not a guess- it is a guarentee.
2. Satan can NEVER again point to us and condemn us because we are guilty! We are made clean by the blood of Christ!
3. We can be absolutely positive that we are going to Heaven! (Romans 8:8,9-11)
4. We can be certain that even when things seem awful, that God will work everything out for our good, and for His glory. (Romans 8:28)
5. We have the promise of God's love...NO MATTER WHAT! (Romans 8:38-39)
Brian gave a great lesson, and did us all a favor by reminding us that all of the good stuff in life is found IN CHRIST! (thank you Brian, for your words, and for a GREAT outline!)
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Romans 8:1)
It doesn't get any better than that friends! What a wonderful reminder to start the week off with! Have a great one!
